I agree, $70 is far too much and yes, that price doesn't include shipping. But I guess for those who want her, it's better to get her now then waiting a couple of months until she is $150+? Ahh luckily I didn't have to resort to Play Asia though XD I was able to purchase her for $48...which is still expensive for a nendoroid, I know, what can I say...I'm finally gonna have a Miku nendoroid, and a shiny exclusive one too.

Now to get some scale PVCs...

Well, considering that getting the real Nendoroid, the one with blue hair, is extremely expensive now, Snow Miku isn't too much of a money eater. I used the example that the only shop in California I knew of sans eBay that stocks her has her for $70 (I paid $50 for my Snow Miku sans shipping) to convince me to put down the extra $20 to acquire Snow Miku.

That's when I first got her and you can see some marks where her sleeves rubbed on her legs despite the plastic sheets wrapped around both parts.

I think I saw earlier. TOo bad about the rubbing.

It's good that I don't collect nendoroids then XD Another giant money sink. I was just curious about the snow Miku. Only one I kind of want is the super saber, cause she's SUPER poseable. That and the Noel one, which hopefully gets an official release outside of the JP special edition =/

The way I look at it, is figures appreciate while DVDs depreciate. I've spent many thousands of dollars on DVDs over the years, but now I'm not buying like I used to, that money can go toward figures, which are an actively better collectable (to look at) while also retaining or gaining value over time. Prices I've seen some figures go for are pretty crazy at times.

How much the value of a figure drops if you open the box but the figure itself is in excellent condition? (Behind glass doors)

Depends on the current popularity of the show and character
If you have a good quality figure of an iconic character that everyone wants but it's sold out everywhere (with no re-release in sight), you can sell that for several times of the original price

WonFes... this is only the second one I cared about, since the last one happened right after I got into figures, but... Wow, that's a ton of good stuff. And that's even with me just sticking to Nendoroids and Figmas.
